For my last photo shoot of 2019, I went downtown with Paper Sister for a band portrait session. If you’d like to hear their music, their Instagram bio has the most current local show dates or you can check out their Soundcloud.

We explored the Seaholm and Central Library downtown area during their session. They were good sports about being stuck in some plants as well 😉

I hope you’ve enjoyed these sneak peeks from their band photo session downtown. To see all the (password protected) images, visit their gallery HERE.


1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?

Stephanie and I met through the amazing Etsy Austin group a little over ten years ago. I made jewelry at the time, and she made sewn art and prints. Even though we aren’t crafting anymore, it’s great to see we’re both keeping up with creative ventures.

Slightly out of focus but still having fun Stephanie and Camille at an Etsy Austin show in 2010

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?

It was reassuring that Stephanie had a strong vision for our photos. She had so many great ideas, knew where to take pictures, and gave us great direction. I struggled with finding examples of what I wanted before the session, and it was so helpful to have decisiveness and clear direction from Stephanie.

3. What advice would you give to other groups planning a photo session?

Try to find inspiration for your photos ahead of time. Even if you can’t find many examples of what you want or don’t have a clear vision, Stephanie can fill in the gaps.
